Well said. It is obviously a trend to keep stepping on the working middle class which the GOP continues to look down upon. Yes, they want Trump to lose because Trump supports the working people and Clinton is one of their own in the same cause.

To me, it's quite telling that Republicans who couldn't bring themselves to say a bad word about Obama these past 7+ years are now all fight and bluster when it comes to attacking Trump. It isn't so much Trump who they hate - they hate the fact that we the voters rather than the party elites picked the nominee this time. Establishment Republicans despise the grassroots conservatives, libertarians, and populists who they've been conning for money and votes all of these years much more than they oppose any establishment Democrat.

That’s it in a nutshell.

The Repubs don’t give a damn about the people anymore than the Dems do.

The power elite rules on both sides of the aisle.
